a disintegrating economy and a government accused of being aloof explained in despair. it was a large to a live from moscow with me tom would say we start off with the world's top a whistleblower julian the sunshine found a way to make his own address at the un general assembly from his shelter in the ecuadorian embassy in london he used a video link provided by our teachers speak to the world leaders gathered in new york. has the details of this unprecedented statement. it's a story that demanded to be heard and certainly r.t. have refused to ignore it having followed every detail of delia songes case from the very beginning well last night the un listened as the wiki leaks founder

delivered his impassioned appeal to see the un to the people who were gathered there calling on the u.s. to end its persecution of wiki leaks and of the man himself now he spoke via satellite link from the ecuadorian embassy in london where he's being for more than three months now as he fights his extradition he addressed the u.n. assembly in the greek gather there are t. we're exclusively in the embassy behind the scenes and exclusively broadcasting as julian assange has delivered his message to the world leaders who are gathered there he spoke for about fifteen minutes and the main point that he made was the criticism of the u.s. and of president obama criticizing them for defending freedom of speech of being very outspoken about defending freedom of speech but then converse lipase keating whistle blows and people he try and tell the cheese and he spoke certainly of his vassal wiki leaks possibile so the wider implications of the route that the u.s.

is now taking. ration is in trying to recruit. a national regime of secrecy a national regime discussion regime where the new government employees reviewing sensitive information to a media organization can be sentenced to death life imprisonment or espionage now in recent u.s. the classified documents it's been found that julian assange sound wiki leaks are officially enemies of the state and that anyone who works with them could be potentially persecuted now he spoke not only of his own ongoing battle but also of the wider implications for whistle blowers if the u.s. continues along this course as mentioned who we were exclusively broadcasting a sundress address alive then you can watch the full version on our website. because well i want to tell you the american story julian assange just breaks

through the sh exclusively on our t.v. dot com. our saunders really appearance aside a serious dominated the u.n. meeting after the country's capital was rocked by two rebel terror attacks in just two days but this was largely ignored by international allies of the opposition who only step up their calls for regime change russia says their behavior only encourages a rebel terrorism now as he is marina but has more. but his foreign minister did speak to the fifteen members of the security council reiterating russia's position on the crisis in syria opposition that says the international community should be sticking to the six point peace plan that was laid out by former joint special envoy kofi annan as well as sticking to the communique that was signed in geneva and now russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that this crisis can only be

settled through negotiation and compromise. an argument that was also made by china and brazil most recently with that military intervention could not serve to solve this problem only dialogue and diplomacy foreign minister lavrov said that russia's diplomatic principles are the following letting countries decide its destiny independently and not interfering in domestic affairs the foreign minister also said that it's quite concerning that western countries who are supporting the syrian opposition are increasingly turning the other way when violence and bloodshed is being perpetrated by rebels he said that this is a very dangerous pattern that is taking place and they could set a very bad precedent that would ultimately justify terrorism. new joke of the latest attacks in syria and to receiving any jew response from the u.n. security council because some of the western nations prefer to step back saying

that in this case terror acts can be justified by people's desperation with the regime so it should position is horrifying and then she leads to justifying terror attacks over the world the u.s. president barack obama addressed the u.n. general assembly calling for an end to the government of bashar al assad syria's current president in addition to america's position the leaders of britain and france also took to the podium addressing the international body and echoing the sentiments made by their american counterparts so there you have it it was just the most recent conversation taking place in the security council once again on syria a crisis that has been developing for more than eighteen months and still a huge division among the international community. they ronnie a leader also warned against a foreign military involvement in the syrian conflict after he addressed the world leaders at the general assembly mahmoud ahmadinejad's criticized western policies

while calling for a new world order and fresh thinking the u.s. and israel in turn boycotted the church with a canadian delegation looking out of a tree in protest jamelle from the national iranian american council believes that such reactions are laid in taste on the walkout that normally happens or in this case the fact that the us israeli missions did not even come to the speech i think is mostly political theater i don't think that this means anything this is about as sharp rebuke as can be delivered during these speeches but at the end of the day. it's meaningless it's i think so innes that bears no. mark on the reality of how these situations need to be resolved i think we do though speak to political . you know the political risk of appearing to be willing to listen and engage to.

you know foreign countries that we disagree with. another day of strong opinion is expected at the u.n. general assembly on thursday as israeli and palestinian leaders address the chamber mahmoud abbas who caused a few right at the u.n. with his failed bid for palestinian statehood this time pursues a more modest goal to gain nonmember observer status but some regional experts think that with israel's main focus on iran palestinians will once again leave empty handed. it is one step ahead to put an end to this very acute patient birth it's a very very small step as i said before it's only the curative step because on the ground occupation is boy born i guess it is embarrassing for the united states year after year to spend against almost the whole world protecting israel but this also is not much more than a parasite. i think that succeeded to put the main international

focus on iran and make the world forgets the q patient forget the palestinian problem and forget the personal story it's really not their gender i think this works against the palestinians not for them i had in the program we'll look at whether the relationship between the u.s. and israel is now on rocky ground a quiet something there for a while and now seem to be growing wider washington appearing tired of israel's insistent calls for a strike on iran over its atomic. and u.k. police it's a deeply affected by all sterrett find ways to resist planned job and funding cuts will tell you how they're letting the government know the dangers of having less bodies on the beach. a behind a job he has a judge has blocked the release of the country's most renowned activists and the

bill ridge up the announcement posted on twitter account said his next court hearing would be in october in august he was sentenced to three years for inciting illegal protests against the ruling family. a youth leader from the rains the biggest opposition party things the ruling family has made the court its puppets. i think if the government are really good points and negotiations on a real time of accident she should make it and create a situation for them to losing and their beautiful job is one of the fields that give it a sign that they're going to add that i really want to sit down on a daily and most of the new iraq to organizations there are speak about the russians and the mind of the breed of what is normal and movement of the moral right in the millions and missed in the sea and sequence and it's just it's not just and stick of judiciary it is just like when your own family resource

controlling all of the situation and by doing so i think the government should be in private about what your version of that were right internationalism you were right activist by. deep cuts to public services in the u.k. have not spared the country's law enforcement hundreds of police jobs have already been slashed with thousands more under threat but officers aren't taking kindly to the proposed changes he's poorly boyko as more on how they're fighting back. that's faced with having to make deep budget cuts and to add insult to injury report to be called perhaps by a senior member of the government now police say in the west midlands have decided to fight back in a couple of weeks the conservative party conference comes to birmingham police federation's for the three regions surrounding the city are preparing their very own welcome for all the government ministers paying a visit they say they're going to buy up as many billboards as they can in the city

center in order to put this anti government advertisement up by the time the tories start their meeting police say they want the public to know that they can't guarantee a good service because of the budget cuts being insisted upon across the whole of england and wales the picture a similar six thousand eight hundred frontline police jobs have gone since the two thousand and ten general election in order to free up more money for the treasury which is in desperate need of cash the government to do change the nature of. recognition currently. twenty percent of the budget on the police. in england and which ultimately the police federation's latest campaign here in birmingham is a warning that even if the deep cuts made by the british government save the money it could come at the cost of public safety. we'll have more news after the break.

it sounds like a dragon crashing through the forest but it is in fact technology versus trees and would you believe it this machine can file and strip hundreds of them each day when building this facility we wanted to use advanced technology that would increase efficiency and allow us not to use manual labor also this provides for better quality goods as a result we were able to conquer western markets the demand for corrina birchwood is high since our production line is quite efficient where i will to work for higher wages to our employees the trunks and up here weather turned into planks which branch off for all manner of uses greenies wood exports and large but not all of it goes of gold. here on the museum island of traditional methods they used to

year that goes to make everything from. farmhouses to follow which and with careers proximity to europe on the baltic it's big forests big business you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought. was a big picture. there was an r.t. good to have you with us iran's alleged nuclear threat has seen the us senate israel singing from the same hymn sheet for some time but now it's becoming a bone of contention with washington appearing to be tired of israel's constant calls for a preemptive strike on to iran. on it she can house the story. the crack between the white house and the israeli leadership is starting to show house and benjamin

netanyahu is pushing washington to draw a red line over iran a line beyond which lies war but president obama is not pandering so let me be clear america wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy and we believe that there is still time and space to do so even though the obama administration's stated policy is not to let iran have a nuclear weapon for benjamin netanyahu that's not enough if you're determined to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons it means you'll act before they get nuclear weapons acting before could mean attacking tomorrow even though according to a u.s. intelligence assessment iranian leaders haven't even decided on whether to build the bomb or not america's top military officials made it clear at tacking iran would be a bad idea should israel decide to go it alone the head of the u.s. army said quote i don't want to be complicit and of quote player soon they can see that iran back a couple of years and then go back and do it again and again that's just idiotic

because once you start using force everything changes colonel lawrence wilkerson has joined a host of other former and serving government officials who put forward an expert analysis paper on what military action against iran would entail the paper states we believe that a u.s. attack on iran would increase ariens motivation to build a bomb. it would take iran a year or more to build a military grade weapon once the decision was made to do so at least two years or more would be required to create a nuclear warhead that is reliably deliverable die a missile as this room pushes ahead with war talk and red lines the obama administration is trying to relieve the pressure any pressure that i feel is simply to do what's right for the american people and i am going to block out any noise that's out there when the president referred to israeli war rhetoric as no moyse many asked whether the relations between the white house and tell of it have hit

a new low all you have to do in this town is say the word israel and everyone is supposed to shrink away everyone supposed to leave the argument because if israel's security is in peril then you are an anti-semite or worse if you say i'm opposite opinion americans have made it clear they don't have the stomach for another war in the middle east especially a war based on some phony red blinds president obama knows that benjamin netanyahu probably knows that too hence the question. we need a ship really serious when pushing the us to the brink of what would be a devastating war or is it some kind of a good cop bad cop diplomatic game that the u.s. and israel are playing whatever it is the escalating war talk is drowning out the hopes of diplomacy in washington i'm going to check on. as barack obama prepares for the presidential election run in his republican rival reveals his personal financial history in a few minutes we've got the surprising details of mitt romney's overseas

investments which it turns out the hawkish republican has been buying into live and in. a tank an economy rampant unemployment and a fall public mood it may not be the worst of spain's troubles that the lumia its riches and most prosperous region once out its leaders saying if he wins a snap elections next month you'll fall through a referendum on independence archies jake agrees look said what the rush is about. the regional elections being held in catalonia will be seen as a de facto referendum on independence from madrid and from essential lies government and that's largely down to who's running on the ballot paper we have present our soul mass regional head he's been calling for greater independence if he proves popular on the day of voting for them that could really reflect on how popular the issue of independence is has always been the simmering sentiment when

it comes to this national debate between highlighted somewhat given the current economic conditions and economic plight in spain catalonians feel that they've been hard done too that they give more to madrid in terms of the budget about twelve billion euros more on an annual basis when they ever receive back also catalonia as a regional store to contribute about twenty percent of spain's annual g.d.p. is still hard but with its own deficit struggling to reduce that deficit in catalonia about forty billion euros but here they say they've made deeper and tougher cuts than anywhere else in spain this issue actually earlier this month or so about a million people onto the streets in barcelona is a call for independence away from madrid that comes at a very tough time for spain as a whole particularly for the government of prime minister rudd hordes as one m.p.'s dubbed it is a crisis on top of a crisis as they're facing their own problems of deficit reduction and people

coming out to the streets in their tens of thousands to protest against how the government is handling austerity measures we've just seen this week protests turned violent the occupy congress movement which started peacefully aim to get a message of and just barely through two am peace and ended in violence of police pushing back the protesters with being hit by battens having a bullets fired in their direction and it's also about sixty people were injured in proceedings about thirty people. being detained as a worrying sign as these demonstrations turned more bonnet continue. so now officials from the spanish military have apparently threatened got to luna separatists with the court martials and making clear the army's stance but dr. c. professor of economics at the university of but the law says a madrid it wouldn't day involve the military though she would welcome assurances

catalonia is a people with a long history of language and identity and it has been struggling for the last thirty years to be recognized and to develop its own policies in many many different aspects within the spanish system receives the spanish democracy or so-called democracy and it hasn't been proper to go in by because of the economic relationship within the spanish estate has been very very discriminatory towards catalonia spain belongs to the european union the european union want along. the spanish state to act violently against democratic movements such as the catalan movement anyway it would be nice to hear the head of the armed forces which the king kong rushed to say something along the untoward declare that they are not going to use violence that would be nice. comes up on the clashes in madrid over

the past two days and you can find the full video archive at r.t. dot com there we've chronicle two days of a mass rally is made up of tens of thousands we've got video and. violence between demonstrators and police clashes that some critics say way engineered by the authorities themselves all that and much more than r t doc. u.s. presidential candidate mitt romney has raised eyebrows by releasing his twenty eleven tax returns after pressure from the voters turns out of the republic can you who is a very vocal in his animosity towards moscow has lost investments into true of russia's biggest corporations are g.'s a list wall has more from washington. republican presidential nominee mitt romney finally released his much anticipated two thousand and eleven tax returns the three hundred seventy nine page return shows he paid a tax rate of over forty percent though there's debate over how that number was

calculated his tax return also reveals ties to his cayman island investments and the performance of his goldman sachs funds but perhaps the most important yet overlooked item on his two thousand and eleven tax return is romney's foreign investments and mitt romney family trust return shows romney purchased shares in two giant russian companies romney invested in russian energy firm gazprom and russian internet firm yandex the largest search engine in the country the records show romney invested over a thousand shares in both countries tax records also show romney sold both shares at a loss last september right before the presidential election season kicked off but what's puzzling is that the presidential hopeful took interest and invested in a country he recently bashed. to russia this is without question our number one geopolitical foe they fight every cause for the world's worst actors that's right

drumming invested in a country he apparently views as america's number one enemy in fact romney's rhetoric on russia is consistently hawkish so if you want to run for the highest office in the united states and that virtually attack a foreign country you may want to keep your investments close to home in washington liz wall r.t. . today's business news coming your way in a few minutes you're watching our. good leverage tory was able to build the world's most sophisticated robots which fortunately. tim's mission to teach music should care about humans. this is why you should. only. be.
